Keyser Soze, a band hailing from Reno, is set to infuse Cooper’s in Nevada City with a vibrant mix of ska, reggae, jazz, Latin, hip-hop, and punk music this Friday. Bassist Louie Bertino notes the escalating popularity of ska and reggae music across the airwaves, describing it as a widespread fever gripping music enthusiasts.
The upcoming performance at Cooper’s promises a night of high-energy entertainment for the 21-and-over crowd, featuring Keyser Soze along with an acoustic set by Verbal Kint. The latter, a project of Keyser Soze members J.T. and Brian, offers a different musical vibe akin to Blues Travelers and Jimi Hendrix.
Despite a relatively quiet summer, Keyser Soze recently engaged in a series of shows, including performances in San Francisco alongside Dubcat. Bertino highlights the band’s previous openings for renowned acts like The Wailers, Fishbone, Save Ferris, and The Specials, recounting the excitement of sharing the stage with his long-time musical inspirations.
Reflecting on their summer activities, Bertino mentions Keyser Soze’s extensive presence in San Francisco and leisurely escapades in beach towns along the California coast. While the band is actively gigging, thoughts also turn towards recording a new album, with a focus on cost efficiency without compromising on quality.
As preparations for the upcoming album take shape, Bertino teases about new tracks in the pipeline, including a fast-paced punk rock number titled ‘Who to Trust.’ The band aims to hit the studio soon to lay down their latest compositions, emphasizing the readiness of their material for recording.
Looking ahead to the Cooper’s show, Bertino encourages local residents to join in the musical revelry, promising a night of enjoyment at an affordable price point. With their diverse musical influences and dynamic performances, Keyser Soze continues to captivate audiences with their genre-blending sound and infectious energy.
